The 2012 FIA GT3 European Championship was the seventh season of the FIA GT3 European Championship . Six events were held, each with two races. This resulted in a total of twelve races.
The season started on April 8th in Nogaro , the season finale was held on September 23rd at the Nürburgring .
Thus, all races were held as part of the FIA GT1 World Championship . On the last two race weekends, the GT3 European Championship started together with the FIA GT1 World Championship. This measure was necessary due to the small number of starters in both championships.
